King: Metro area seniors are on the right track as graduation approaches

By Alyssia Curry Staff Writer

For seniors from all over Metro Detroit, the time is approaching and everyone is fired up about graduation. First semester was a breeze but second semester the work became harder. All seniors are trying to get high school and over with. Completing assignments, projects, and FAFSA and more.

Teachers are really putting the pressure on students with all the constant work that’s due. Not to mention prom preparation, college admittance and ACT retake. Senioritis is also starting to kick in and some seniors are not on the right track for graduation.

“Without graduating nothing will be easily accomplished in your life. A high school education ensures more money and a solid career,” King senior Kaila Perry said.

Senior year has flown by completely and the memories and friendships are fleeting. It’s time to apply our outstanding achievement and knowledge to the real world. Graduating and becoming Successful should be the ultimate goal for every senior from the Class of 2015.

“Graduating is important because without a high school diploma you are not guaranteed a high paying job because know one will want to work with an uneducated person so by graduating you are setting your future up to be a success,” Rochester Hills senior Jalen Taylor said.

Graduating is an accomplishment. It allows the graduate to look back and remember where they started and how hard they worked to graduate. It is also a way to show young people that they can also accomplish the goal of graduating if they truly desire it.

“Graduation is important so that you’ll go to the next level and it gives you a much better chance at being the best in life,” Pershing senior Frederick Roberts said.
